Piggy-wiggy flu


Advice from a website regarding the Swine Flu

'Influenza is very easily spread through coughs and sneezes. If you have influenza, avoid public places and close contact with other people. Always cough and sneeze into a disposable tissue. Put the tissue in a rubbish bin and wash your hands well afterwards.'

Very good advice if you ask me, and not limited to just the swine flu. It's advice that should be followed but let's break it down....

Influenza is very easily spread through coughs and sneezes.

Yeah, it's also very easily spread by the person who rolls into work sniffing every 5 seconds and telling you, in no uncertain terms, how crap they feel and how they "hope you don't get it"....The great thing about this, of course, is that you can actively put a face to the flu once it infects you.

Always cough and sneeze into a disposable tissue.

As opposed to a reusable tissue.

1. Put the tissue in a rubbish bin.
2. Wash your hands well afterwards.


If you are wiping your nose with your hand, please go straight to step 2.
